    1934 Ford 2 door Seats Needed

     



    Looking for a new set of seats, bucket front, rear bench for a 1934 Ford 2 Door Sedan. Frames only are okay as well as I have a good interior shop. Any used Gliders? Any suggestions for aftermarket or good pulls from late model cars?
    Thanks!

    Ummm,
    Not late model, but a mate of mine used early Morris Minor seats for his Model A two door.
    They're particularly good because they can fold right forward under the dashboard.
    Sorry, can't be of more help.

    Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.
    I don't know everything about anything, and I don't know anything about lots of things.

    '49 Morris Minor. Datsun 1500cc, 5sp manual, Marina front axle, Nissan rear axle.

    Hi Bart,
    I'm in the same situation except I'm fitting seat frames for a 1936 Chevy 2 dr Standard.
    I was hoping to salvage the rear seat frame but when removing it the wood just started breaking apart.

    In checking out seats there are some out there for our hobby. I suspect you will be more lucky than I in finding seats as there is a lot more available for the Ford than the chevy.

    I do have a 34 ford deluxe 4dr and that has seats from Tea's Design in Rochester MN.

    Here is a list of some of the places that I've checked out.

    Tea's Design http://www.teasdesign.com/
    Glide Engineering http://www.glideengineering.com/
    Krist Kustoms http://www.kristkustoms.com/
    Street Rod Seating http://www.rodseat.com/
    Cerullo (I'm impressed with these seats for some reason) http://www.cerullo.com/

    Then there is always e-bay if you know the dimensions of the seats you are interested in. Some seats may work or need modification to work, but then you can also get an integrated seat belt system, power, and if needed heated seats.

    I'm doing the shopping around right now myself and have not picked a route but I'm investigating Cerullo closely. Nothing wrong with the Tea's that are in my 34 as they are over 10 years old now, but thinking that I want to investigate what is out there.

    I used a pair of buckets from a late 90s Nissan Pathfinder in my 31 coupe. they're just narrow enough to fit by the scantist of margins, but most late model seats are too wide (as I'm sure you discoverd). very comfortable seats BTW.

    Thanks for the leads on Krist, StreetRod & Cerullo. I spoke to each and will probably order the frames/foam from Street Rod. Seems like a good guy and has most of the frames I need in stock! Thanks once again! I have a local interior guy who will cover the seats and do the install. I also ordered 3 point belts from wesco performance. They have a nice anchor system for just a couple of bucks! I was starting to worry how to install 3 points before I found that site.

    Glad my research from earlier has helped. Find this post when you get your seat order delivered and let us know what you think of them. Good to know about your thoughts of customer service from Street rod.

    I ordered the 50/50 bench seat from them. The rear bench seat arrived a couple of days ago. Foam is NICE! Frame looks well built and tough.
    Will be upholstering it sometime in the next week or so, will include some pic later today of the frame and foam and also, when done, the completed bench seat.

    Great info in here, I have a 36 Chevy 2 door standard that I have been stressing out about over seats and seat belts. Jerome do you have pics of what you ended up using?
